November/December Newsletter: The Business End of Religion

We've combined the November and December issues so we can take time out this season to be with our families (Yeah, right!). BUT we'll be sending you a fabu Christmas card on the first of December. This month's topic is business and it includes some HOT stuff.

FIRST, there's my interview with Dwayne Walker from Playmates Who Love the Lord. Dwayne is SO cool, don't miss him. THEN read part 2 of Kevin Lambert's Scandals in Eden about the infamous sex pervert Reverend Harold Davidson who was finally eaten by a lion! Reviewer extraordinaire, Ron Hogan reviews the book Jesus, CEO. (He walks on water but can't get an HONEST job?!)

On the lighter side of darkness this month we have The Plan and a very bizarre excerpt from a book on soulwinning about what Christians really do in the bathroom, as if you were curious. I've also recently gotten lots of requests for samples of the mail I receive so I've included last month's love letters and hate mail.

Now, to the business at hand. The day after Thanksgiving is one of the busiest shopping days of the year. Several consumer organizations have banded together to institute "Buy Nothing Day." This year it falls on November 28. I heartily encourage you to participate. I've done it before and believe me, it takes a little planning. But consider this beautiful bit of scriptural poetry:

Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

Isaiah 55:1,2

As a special treat this month I've created an interactive computer that predicts which religion is best for you based on your complexion and your style choices. And the public event I told you about last month, Babes in Boyland, went well. You can read the review at The Net Insider's Shmooze Report.

Check out the movie Devil's Advocate. As an ex-fundamentalist it scared the piss out of me. I could NOT believe the scarey stuff they were saying. AND it was very funny in a Pulp-Fiction-I'm-not-sure-I-should-be-laughing sort of way. What really surprised me was that the Christian right wasn't out in front of the theaters picketing it in droves. But then, there weren't any queer characters in the movie. They don't really care what's said about God. Anyway, it's the best Christian movie I've seen since FREEWAY which has THE best conversion scene of all time. If you haven't seen it yet, give yourself a treat.

Have a happy holiday and I'll see you in December. (Write to me!)
